The Brain-Shaped Mind
In Sensing the Past, Smith debunks the Great Divide Theory that generally argues that sight champions over all other senses from the Enlightenment onward. Through chapters dedicated to each sense, Smith reveals how the other senses have each held their own throughout history, providing examples from both pre- and post-modern periods and from both Western and Eastern cultures.
While the many examples he provides sometimes stray from the overall line of argument, I greatly appreciated how he linked constructions of gender, race, and class into his examination of each sense.
I'd recommend this as a short (130 pages of content) survey of the history of the senses.
